Information

On your left you’ll come to a deep canal used to drain the bog sections. When the flume gates are opened, water moves by gravity through the canal to nearby Federal Pond, a cranberry reservoir, where Federal Furnace bogs will use the water. Behind the canal is Federal Hill, a beautiful white pine stand that is an example of commercial thinning in a managed forest. There is an understory of young trees, wintergreen, fern, and blueberries.
